Toolset Maps uses google.maps.places.Autocomplete and google.maps.places.AutocompleteService, which are depricated and no more working for new users.
Is there a plan for fixing the problem?
Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As per the Doc:
=> hidden link

Its written:

At this time, google.maps.places.AutocompleteService is not scheduled to be discontinued, but AutocompleteSuggestion is recommended over google.maps.places.AutocompleteService.

They will inform users before 12 months,, if they plan to discontinue service.

For now, thee is no harm to use it but I've filed internal ticket and our Devs will work on it if/when reuired in order to implement the new API changes. Please note that there is no ETA on it.

Hi Minesh!
Thank you for your quick response.

The important statement is at their begining: "As of March 1st, 2025, google.maps.places. Autocomplete is not available to new customers". It will continue working for existing API keys, but not for new. So developers can see it working, since they have their trial existing API keys, but when delivering a project to customer, a new API key will be made. Then it stops working. I tried a new API key and confirmed than it is not working.

Same thing for AutocompleteService.
